VTKExamples/Cxx/Points/DensifyPoints

Description

In this example, the original points are yellow and the added points are red.

The image was produced using this torso dataset

Warning

This example requires vtk 7.1 or greater.

Download and Build DensifyPoints

Click here to download DensifyPoints and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball DensifyPoints.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

cd DensifyPoints/build

If VTK is installed:

cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

make

and run it:

./DensifyPoints

WINDOWS USERS

Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
